The VX-8B Inferno is a thermal assault dreadnought built around a volatile plasma core that blurs the line between engine and weapon. Its broadside emitters vent caged stellar fire along controlled magnetic rails, immolating entire ship formations and stripping defensive platforms down to molten slag. Heat blooms from an Inferno strike can linger in low orbit for hours, disrupting rescue efforts and reinforcing the psychological message Voran intends: resistance burns. Because of the catastrophic potential of a core breach, crews undergo rigorous training in containment protocols and are drilled to treat the ship as both a temple and a bomb. In the darkest chapters of the Beyond Horizon expansion, the term "Hellstorm" became synonymous not with a tactic, but with the arrival of an Inferno on the field.
